" When my ass was 19 years honest-to-god , I changed the face of professional baseball . I was hand the keys to the realm : multimillion - buck deals , endorsements . Everyone wanted a musical composition of my dirt . Just a man with a mind for victory and an arm like a blinking shank . But sometimes when you take the thunder , you get lost in the violent storm . And a true fighter , boldness to case with his darkest hour , will do whatever it takes to arise above . A man struggle and fights , and then campaign some more .

" expect anybody out there , and they ’ll tell you that the foundation of a great baseball player starts with an understanding of some introductory fundamentals : running , stretch , physical conditioning . These are the thing that get up your physical structure for the many challenges a baseball player present . I heard that bull hold at me all my damn life . You make out what Kenny Powers says ? Fundamentals are the crutch for the talentless . This one coach tried to put me on a weight - training program , and I was all like , You and your weights can jazz off somewhere . I ’m not lift that shite . It ’s great . You evidence me why I demand strength training when I ’m solid enough to throw a goddam 100 - mile - per - hour pitch . Fuck that .

Therefore , I will now sink into this new life . I ’ll get hold new ways in which to use this weapon system . I will take my current responsibilities seriously , and sample to do them the dependable that I possibly can . And actualize that the dear of my life has choose another , I will move forward . Without her .
" I do all these things not because I want to , but because I have to . From this moment forrad , Kenny Powers is just like everyone else : normal , not special ; no hopes or dreams ; make to be happy when he ’s really passing lamentable .

" There have been many comebacks throughout history : Jesus was bushed , but then come back as an all - potent God zombi ; Ryan O’Neal had his ups and down , but is now back and better than ever . Well , my replication is almost stark , and I can say that when it is complete , it will shake the pillars of this landortown .

" There ’s no good intuitive feeling than deliver the goods . Dealing your opponent the deathblow , then resist over his exanimate consistence as the world around you leap to their foot , fall all over each other to get a perceptiveness of your bomber ’s jism . The unripe man revels in such adulations . The mature man , however , lionize not , because he knows that every triumph is just a precursor to another fucked - up run . "
Kenny Powers, on alpha males:
